Saudi Arabian giants Riyadh Victory are on the verge of completing a remarkable transfer deal to sign striker Angelo Borges from English Premier League soccer club Chelsea, according to a new report from leading international soccer journalist Romano. The two clubs are said to have reached a basic agreement on a transfer fee totaling around 23 million euros, showing the high regard and confidence Riyadh Victory have in the young striker.
The deal is currently in the final stages of being wrapped up, with the only detail still to be resolved being Chelsea's offer of a second transfer split. The specific content and percentage of this clause will be the focus of the next negotiations between the two sides, but overall, the deal is close to completion, and Romano's signature "Soon Here we go" in the report signals that an official announcement is imminent.
Angelo Borges has yet to make a consistent appearance in his Chelsea career, but he has been quite impressive during his time on loan.In the 2023/24 season, he was loaned out to French side Strasbourg, where he showed a decent amount of attacking talent and potential. Throughout the season, he made 25 appearances for Strasbourg, failing to score but contributing to the attacking end of the team with 4 assists.
With his move to Riyadh Victory finalized, Angelo Borges will have the opportunity to continue to hone his skills and seek further development in his career on a brand new stage in the Saudi League. For Riyadh Victory, his addition will undoubtedly strengthen the team's offense and inject more vitality and hope into the team's game in the new season.
